Cognac is a meme. This is the best bang for your buck brandy, which is all that cognac is.

>Why the FUCK is the only actually drinkable spirit so fucking expensive (brandy is good too but that's literally just too pricey to think about)
Try this. $12 and delicious

Guy does a tour of Delamain, this was an informative and wholesome little video. One interesting bit was where they drop a little glass flask into a barrel and pull some of the spirit. By shaking it and watching the bubbles they can apparently determine the ABV right there.

Do not buy Mad Dog. B&R is just 4chang lingo, based and...
As far as cheaper recommendations, I really like St-Remy VSOP. French brandy, but not cognac and doesn't have the same profile. Still, very sipping-friendly and can often be found for $13 on sale.

Well, what did you get?

Around here a 750ml of Maker's is around $23. You won't find many scotch whiskies that are considered "nice" in that price range. If you're a Euro, it might be different.

Regular Maker's is just an average, middle of the road bourbon. People probably just shit on it because you can get better bourbon for either less money, or just a little bit more money. Maker's 46 is pretty damn tasty though, and worth the $30.

None of those shits.
